having a guy like nedved in the lineup wasnt such a bad thing. he wasn't scoring (again, who is?) but at least he brought some experience to the team. and i was misinformed about nilsson, didn't know he'd played last year.

and yes, some of the players listed have only been recently hurt, but moreau has been out since like the 10th game of the season. we've also had alot of injured guys return to the lineup. of our entire team, only 3 guys have played every game this season. three. it was four until recently when horcoff went down with the flu. thats as telling a stat as any as to the type of year its been...

Yeah....and for all of the things I've heard about Petr Nedved "he brings experience to the team" isn't exactly at the top of the list. He's a career floater who's been bounced around the league more than Alyssa Milano. If your are relying on him to be a stabilizing force, you are in trouble.

As for your "3 guys have played the entire season" excuse, the Rags have had ONE guy play the entire season, as have the Flames. Yet those teams currently occupy playoff spots.

Again, injuries are a fact of the NHL. Either the organization has the depth to deal with them, or they don't, and if they don't, well then that says something about the organization....not "bad luck".
